How different should my CV be for UK Master applications?

Hi folks, 

I am wondering what kind of CV stands out for universities.
I currently have a CV which is very close to the IB WSO template (Tight, compact, straight-forward, no picture). 

What do you guys recommend when applying to Unis and especially Masters in finance?
I know there are tons of infos online but I wanna get a more personal outlook.
